YouTube concert plus coughing

Great imaging can be annoying--see below.

I was listening to a YouTube live performance by the Danish String Quartet of Beethoven's String Quartet Op. 131, which has seven short movements WITHOUT A PAUSE. It was well recorded, to the point that with my AKG K702 headphones I heard a coughing audience member all too clearly, and it was easy to pinpoint where the cough was coming from in the soundstage.

I also clearly heard an outburst of applause (mixed with coughing) when several audience members thought the piece was over when there were still 3 movements to go. The musicians didn't bat an eyelash but continued to play. The interruption apparently awakened other folks who coughed for a while as the music continued.
